Using this virtualization, a server provides a virtual desktop or application for users on multiple client machines. Shell prompt In Linux and OS X, the command prompt in the terminal. I am just wondering, a client of mine has a mixed Windows and Mac OS-X environment, and I'd like to run local Windows Update and Mac OS-X update server inhouse to reduce the overall requirement of bandwidth to run updates.

Latest version of osx for mac. If you would like to know more about the variety of Mac OS versions you can download MacTracker from www.mactracker.ca which contains a wealth of information about each version all the way back to 'System Software 2.0.1' that was released by Apple in March 1987 and before that back to 'System File' and the 'Finder' which I remember fondly along with the Macintosh Computers that our University had stowed away behind a thick wooden door with a numerical key pad that for $5/month a student could have and be the envy of all the pen and paper students.

The Mac OS X Server 10.5 license provides for virtualization, albeit on Apple hardware alone. At this time, OS X (server or client) cannot be virtualized by any VM software on the market.

From the license: 2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. Mac OS X Server Software. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the Mac OS X Server Software) on a single Apple-labeled computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Mac OS X Server Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.

Please note that the Apple Software is supported only on Apple-labeled systems that meet the specified system requirements as indicated on the outside of the Mac OS X Server packaging. If you transfer software from one Apple-labeled computer to another Apple-labeled computer, please remember that continued use of the original copy of the software may be prohibited once a copy has been transferred to another computer, unless you already have a licensed copy of such software on both computers. You should check the relevant software license agreements for applicable terms and conditions. This is technically possible. OSX has run in VMware before see link below on how to do it, there was a pre-made torrent floating about for the less technical who wanted to run osx on their pc.

OSX unsurprisingly has locked out the original cd so you cant just install this straight into VMware or on your PC. This I think is a really stupid move, having OSX go head to head with Vista would be a great thing as we don't have many realistic choices of desktop OS -- your favorite linux, windows or a mac. I have a mac but will say that using OSX on anything other than a mac is breaking Apple's licensing. You can google osx on a pc and watch a video of it.
